Towards the end where you have:


* * * * * * * * * * .Value = UCase(.Value)


you can make this:


* * * * * * * * * * .Value = Trim(UCase(.Value))


and this should take care of the leading and trailing spaces.


Hope this helps.

Here is my current code. Appreciate your help.

* * * * * * * * Case 60
* * * * * * * * * * nColor = RGB(245, 200, 11)

* * * * * * With rCell

* * * * * * * * * * .Value = UCase(.Value)
* * * * * * * * End If
* * * * * * End With
* * * * Next rCell
* * End If


ws_exit:

End Sub

You could apply it at the same time as you capitalize each cell in the
column. Post your code if you need further advice.

anything for it to work??
I already have VBA code to change the colour of cells and to capitalize
columns. Ideally I would like to just alter this to deal with the spaces.

You can use the TRIM function to remove leading (and trailing) spaces
- in a helper column put a formula like:


=TRIM(A1)


and copy down, assuming your values are in column A - adjust to suit..
You can fix the values and then copy over the originals. Record a
macro while you do this once, and then you can replay it again next
time you want to do this.


Hope this helps.

Ideally I would like it to automatically change perhaps by using a macro.- Hide quoted text -
